• Prepare and maintain process documentation, SOPs, and work instructions.
• Track and report production metrics (cycle time, downtime, scrap, OEE).
• Participate in root cause analysis and corrective/preventive actions (CAPA).
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives across safety, quality, and productivity.
• Assist with layout improvements, equipment integration, and workflow optimization.
• Learn and apply ERP/MES systems for production planning and tracking.
